Using the Hell Ring, Genkishi goes berserk and starts attacking Tsuna with illusions of his friends. Unwilling to fight these illusions, Tsuna freezes them instead and overwhelms Genkishi with a full powered X-Burner, forcing him to escape. Tsuna is then confronted by Shoichi, who initially uses his real friends as hostages. He frees them however, revealing that he is an ally of Tsuna's future self, who asked him to send Tsuna and his friends to the future so that they will be able to increase their powers to defeat Byakuran. Meanwhile, in accordance with adult Tsuna's plan, the Varia attack a Millefiore base in Italy to defeat the remaining guardians. While Squalo commands the soldiers, Belphegor and the new member Fran are attacked by the Milliefiore fake funeral wreath Rasiel, who is also Belphegor's twin brother. Rasiel and his butler Olgert easily defeat the two Varia, but they are then attacked by Xanxus. Using a liger charged with his Dying Will Flame, Xanxus manages to easily push back the two Millefiore guardians.
